And I would like to request some editing be done on that post. It can use:
- consistancy (ditch the number after Q and A, for starters);
- improved legibility (make questions bold, answers plain);
- Fix all broken, incomplete and/or cut-off sentences. Sometimes words are simply omitted, making it all a confusing mess.

Feckit, I'll just do this myself... *makes another reply with Zach's post but improved* (someone please remove mine then after Zach updates his..)

A5. All you need to do is note the field id and replace it for x in the example below, then place it into your Postbit or Postbit Legacy.
Example: $post[fieldX]

I've created a new user profile field "First name".
I'm trying to add this to the postbit, without success.
How do I find out the field ID?
I've tried [firstname], but that doesn't work.
Would I just need to add $post[fieldX] to the postbit template or the full
<if condition="$post['firstname']"><div>$vbphrase[first_name]: $post[firstname]</div></if>

Thanks

The field ID is listed on the Manage Profile Fields page. Note down the ID number.
Let's say that for this example, the field ID is 7:

Then use $post[field7] in the templates, everywhere you want it used, ie:
